I never made enough money working to pay others to do my projects/repairs. My brother was a professional builder so I learned from him enough to do my own. My profession was auto body/paint/restoration and I did the mechanical as a labor of love. I repair my own furnace when it needs it (brain box solder joints deteriorating / auto ign. etc) Minor plumbing , drywall all my own auto mech work , decks , roofing, light elect etc , etc. This is all tax free income. My goal when I was 20 was to learn auto body/paint...not so I could "get a job" but so I could "own the shop". One doesn't have to work near as hard and long if he isn't trying to make a living for 5 - 10 other people. My body shows the wear and tear but I did it my way and would do it all over again. I had a few "jobs" for other people but when they realized they couldn't "own" me that was about it..sometimes my call...sometimes theirs and sometimes mutual. I had an "option" at home and they knew it...and most didn't like it. The one thing I hate is buying new tires...I can't make them...I have no option and they start wearing out the minute you put them on. I always joke that I'm not very good for the economy...so be it.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
